Chess ..

What do you think about this game? have you ever played it?

when i was young, my older brothers used to play it, they used to kill each other on the board. God! i remember watching them, and wondering soo far ..

after a while, and a hell amount of nagging they taught me how to play, i used to play with my sister, she would beat me sometimes, i would beat her in other - fewer - occasions .. that was in my elementary and middle school, once in middle school, they made a small tournament, i lost in the final match, with someone i Defeated in the qualification levels.

anyway, the other day i felt like really playing it, i went online, played with someone i didn't even know, on a screen. its different .. to play with someone you know, on a real solid board, to chit-chat with him, and maybe even to tease each other over a move or a "check" ..

chess isn't just a game for me, its a training, a great teacher of logical thinking, and even oiling a rusty brain like mine.
